This time Zhou Tian taking the risk of pushing the Abyss World to launch a strong assault on the Divine Realm was not for the sake of Killing the Space God King. As long as Zhou Tian could develop the Abyss World, or let his true body escape its predicament, then in theory, Zhou Tian wanting to get rid of the Space God King would not be anything difficult. Thus, since back then Zhou Tian himself already possessed the Ability to Kill the Space God King, right now he naturally didn’t need to rush to deal with him.

He could deal with the Space God King at any time, but at this moment, if Zhou Tian didn’t make a timely Response, he knew the trouble awaiting him next would become enormous.

No matter how you looked at it, Zhou Tian’s Decision back then to have the Abyss World launch a strong attack on the Divine Realm absolutely couldn’t be called wise. And precisely because of Zhou Tian’s Actions at that time, it was foreseeable that before long the Divine Realm Consciousness would also produce a Response. Given the Divine Realm’s Strength, once it truly got a lock on the Abyss World, it was practically impossible for the Abyss World not to be Annexed.

So, although at the time he had used the Tactics of the Abyss World’s Invasion to gain this Opportunity for Zhou Tian to leave the Divine Realm, the Action itself was extremely dangerous. Therefore, before the Counterattack Strength of the Divine Realm descended, Zhou Tian absolutely had to first think of a Method to retreat at that time. Otherwise, if Zhou Tian could not withdraw in time, then once he was blocked by the Divine Realm, he would be finished.

And it was precisely for this reason that even though Zhou Tian possessed the Strength to Kill the Space God King, he still did nothing more to the other party.

At this moment, there was only one thought in Zhou Tian’s mind, and that was to take the Opportunity before the Divine Realm’s Counterattack descended, and first retreat back to the Abyss World.

Although Zhou Tian knew the likelihood wasn’t high, back then he really had stood there considering whether, if possible, he should just retreat like this. And if, when the time came, the Divine Realm didn’t have time to React before he escaped, then perhaps the harm of that previous Action of his could be avoided.

Of course, the probability of that kind of thing happening was low, but at this moment Zhou Tian had no other choices. Thus, even though he clearly knew that even if he pulled back now, the Divine Realm would very likely still not let him go, in the end, when facing the Divine Realm’s revenge, Zhou Tian still chose to retreat first.

As a result, after Zhou Tian forced the Space God King back, although he had the Opportunity to directly finish him off in one go, in the end Zhou Tian still did not do so. Instead, not long after forcing the Space God King to retreat, Zhou Tian chose at that time to withdraw from the Divine Realm.

Zhou Tian’s choice at that time could not be considered wrong, because given the Power of the Abyss World, there truly was no possibility of contending with the Divine Realm. Thus, in order not to be wiped out by the Divine Realm when the time came, Zhou Tian taking the lead in retreating was definitely a correct choice to lower his own Danger. After all, inside the Divine Realm versus outside the Divine Realm, the Strength the Divine Realm Consciousness could exert was completely different.

Fighting the Divine Realm Consciousness inside the Divine Realm—unless the Divine Realm Consciousness wished to self-destruct—under normal circumstances, Zhou Tian’s chance of defeating the other side at that time was infinitely close to zero.

But if the Combat took place outside the Divine Realm, then although in theory the Divine Realm still was not something the Abyss World could oppose, regardless, in that Environment at the time, the Strength of the Divine Realm would definitely be somewhat weakened. And as long as the Divine Realm’s Strength then was not so overwhelmingly powerful, Zhou Tian’s Vitality, no matter what, would increase by a little.

Thus, since it was already unavoidable at that time that they would clash with the Divine Realm, Zhou Tian would not let go of any Method that might weaken the Divine Realm’s attack.

Based on the situation then, Zhou Tian didn’t hesitate at all and chose at that moment to retreat back into the Abyss World. Only, although Zhou Tian did exactly that at the time, the Divine Realm’s Response did not spare him because of his concession. In fact, it was quite the opposite: when Zhou Tian chose to return to the Abyss World then, the Divine Realm immediately, following Zhou Tian and his group, opened up its Contact with the Abyss World.

And the moment that situation occurred, Zhou Tian’s expression changed on the spot.

Under normal circumstances, Zhou Tian did not wish to see that scenario appear, because if the Divine Realm had not pursued, that would have meant Zhou Tian had escaped a calamity, and that was what he had always hoped for. But now the Divine Realm not only hadn’t let him go, it had even directly opened up Contact between the two worlds; with such a result, Zhou Tian naturally felt fear.

After all, one way or another, the Divine Realm’s Strength was right there, and from all perspectives, the Abyss World at that time could not possibly be a match for the Divine Realm. Thus, now that the two worlds were connected, barring any Accident, when the two sides began mutually corroding each other, the Divine Realm ought to hold an absolute Advantage.

They didn’t even need any further Actions; relying solely on its Advantage in Strength, the Divine Realm would have more than a fifty-percent chance of directly Annexing the Abyss World at that time. What’s more, judging from the Divine Realm’s various Performance, it was obvious the Divine Realm Consciousness was not going to use such a peaceful method to Annex the Abyss World.

After all, the Abyss World had just taken the initiative to launch an attack against it; with that situation, the Divine Realm Consciousness could no longer patiently deal with the other side as it usually did. Unless it was truly an Opponent that could not be resolved in a single blow, the Divine Realm Consciousness would inevitably Take Action at that time to get rid of the other party.
